Which is better, tire grade H or T?
1 Answers
Tire grade H is better than T. The T marking on a tire indicates that the maximum operating speed of the tire is 190 km/h, while the H marking represents a maximum speed of 210 km/h. These letters denote the speed rating of the tire, and generally, the further the letter is in the alphabet, the better the tire's performance. Meaning of letters and numbers on tires: Single-letter markings on tires represent the speed rating. If four consecutive numbers appear on the tire, they indicate the production date of the tire. For example, the number 1713 means the tire was produced in the 17th week of 2013. The last two digits represent the year, and the first two digits indicate the production week. Tire speed ratings: Tires with different speed ratings have different applications. P—T grade tires (maximum speed 150—190 km/h) are suitable for small and compact cars, U—V grade tires (maximum speed 200—240 km/h) are suitable for mid-to-high-end sedans, and the highest-performance W—Z tires, which can withstand speeds between 240—300 km/h, are typically used in large luxury sedans and supercars.
